Playing computer games can be a fun way to relax. But for some players, gaming is an unhealthy habit. At night, they are so busy playing games that their schoolwork becomes worse. The game world seems like friendlier than the real world.
Mental (心理) health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) added gaming disorder(障碍) to its list of illness. A person may have the disorder if gaming has broken his or her relationships with family and friends. Gaming may also disrupt(扰乱) his or her everyday activities.
Clifford Sussman, who has worked with kids as young as 12, says they often have feelings of anxiety (焦虑). They feel lonely. They get angry when a parent stops them from playing games. Playing games excites the brain’s center. After a while, the brain becomes numb(麻木的)to pleasure. You will feel bored without a phone in your hand. So you play even more.
Sussman advises you should take at least a one-hour break after every hour of play. The brain needs time to return to a normal condition. Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question:”Are you in control, or is the game in control ”

One of the most dangerous sports in the world is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It’s 8,844.43meters high and so is dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and storms. It’s also hard to take in air as you get near the top.
On May 29, 1953, Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary were the first to reach the top. In 1960, the first Chinese team did so. In 1975, Junko Tabei, from Japan, was the first successful woman.
Why do so many climbers take risks One of the main reasons is that people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.

When you use crayons, you can color things any way you want. Life wasn’t always so colorful, though. A hundred years ago, all crayons were black. They were used in factories and shipyards. Kids couldn’t use them because they were toxic(有毒的).
Then a company called Binney & Smith had an idea. They decided to make Crayola crayons for kids and teachers to use in schools. They also decided to add colors. They made a formula (配方) that was safe. The first box of eight Crayola crayons included black, brown, blue, red, purple, orange, yellow and green . The box cost five cents. The colorful crayons were a huge hit!
Today, many companies make crayons, but Crayola is still the biggest. They take crayons very seriously especially their colors. For example, Crayola has a team of seven chemical(化学的) engineers who do nothing all day but develop new crayon colors. They add the unique(独一无二的), secret formula(秘方) to every crayon color. They mix different colors to come up with new shades(色度). Once the engineers discover a new color they like, they test it on hundreds of kids and parents to make sure it’s really useful. Only then is a crayon ready for the box.
How to name a new: color is hard. In 1993, Crayola introduced 16 new colors for its “Big Box” of 96 crayons. More than two million kids and adults wrote their advice on the names of the colors, such as bright pink, gray, purple, bright green, light green, and light pink. Over the years, Crayola has changed the names of some colors. Around the world, kids still say that red and blue are their favorite crayon colors.

Everyone has a childhood. There must be something you like best during that time. My favorite thing for childhood is a toy bear. I’ve had it for 10 years. My mother gave it to me as a gift on my fifth birthday.
I like the toy bear so much because it is very soft and lovely. It is special to me because I slept next to it every night when I was a child. It was just like my friend in my childhood life. When I was seven years old, my parents were on business. So I had to stay at home alone. I was afraid at first but when I saw the toy, it felt like my my mother was with me.
The toy has given me many sweet memories.
